<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Now I know where it came from in my Houk line.
My father had it. My brother had it. And I have it! About 16
years ago I noticed the bumps in the palm of my right hand. Today the
little finger on that hand cannot be extended more than 90 degrees
from my palm. I now have bumps in my left hand.</FONT></DIV>

<BR>> Thanks for posting the flicks, you can sure see what she was talking
about,<BR>> Grampa "trying" to maintain a dignified expression and the little
scamp<BR>> behind him enjoying herself immensely.<BR>> <BR>> With a
Gram like that I am sure Midge (how could anybody with a name like<BR>> that
take themselves too seriously???) is as prim and severe as ary<BR>>
schoolmarm. (sarcasm intended her folks)<BR>> <BR>> Les Chapman </FONT><A
